As we move into a holiday season that is filled with a lot of gloom and doom on the economic front, it is refreshing to read something that is just light and happy fun, the romance by Janet Evanovich, "Thanksgiving."
The setting is beautiful and historic Williamsburg where a young pediatrician, Patrick Hunter, has come to set up his practice. He meets a potter and part-time Williamsburg tour ticket-taker, Megan Murphy, who is house sitting at a relative's farmhouse near Williamsburg. They suddenly are given charge of an infant named, Timmy, who is left by one of the doctor's patients for a couple of weeks. The romance evolves over the unlikely activity of mutually taking care of this infant, an activity that most parents recognize as a romance killer.
To make matters even more precarious for the romance, both sets of parents and his siblings show up for Thanksgiving dinner. Fortunately, both sides give their blessing to the couple, and, after a few ups and downs, fights and angst, the two make their final plans to get married at Christmas.
It's a fun read and I recommend the book to those who like Evanovich's breezy style, lovers of the Williamsburg setting, and romance readers.
